with the Piles for eight years, daring which time I tried

but without success, faring hoard of Mr. Bull's Pile
Remedy, I tried it ; and though I used but one half-bot

It matters not from what cause the disease originated,
however long standing or obsUnato the case, RECOVERY
IS CERTAIN, and in a SEOTter time than a permanent cure
can be effected by any other treatment, even after the
disease has baffled the skill of eminent physicians and re
sisted all their meads of curs. The medicines are pleas
ant without tater, causing no sickness and free from
mercury or balsam. During twenty years of practice. I
have rescued from the Jaws of Death many thousands,
who, in the last stages of the above-mentioned diseases,
had been given up to die by their physicians, which war , -
rants me in promising to the afflicted, who may place
them Selves under my care, a perfect and most speedy
cure. Secret Diseases aro the groatest enemies to health,
as they are the first cause of Consumption, Serefela cud
many other diseases, and should be a terror to the hu
man family. As a permanent cure is scarcely ever ef
fected, a majority of the eases' falling into the hands of
incompetent persons, who not only - fail to cure the dis
eases but ruin the constitution, filling the system with
mercury, which, with the disease, hastens the sufferer
into a rapid Consumption.
lint should the disease and the treatment not cause
death speedily and the victim marries, the dlseace is en
tailed upon the children..who are born with feeble con
stitutions, and the current of life corrupted by a virus
which betrays itself in Scrofula, Totter, - Ulcers, Erup
tions and other affections of the Skin, Eyes, Throat and
Lungs, entailing upon them a brief existence of suffer
ing and consigning them to an early grave.
SELF ABUSE is another formidable enemy to health,
for nothing else in the dread eatalogue of 'human dices
sewcittises so destructive a drain upon the system, draw
ing its thousands of victims through a few years of suf
fering down to in untimely grave. It:destroys - the Ner
vous System, rapidly wastes away the energies - of life,
causes mental . doraggeineht, prevents the proper devel
opment of the iyaterri; disqualifies for marrirge, society,
business, and all earthly happiness,. and leaves the suit,
forer wrecked in body or mind, predisposed to Consump
tion and a train of evils more to be dreaded than death
itself. With the fullest confidence I assure the Unfortu
nate victims of Self Abuse that a permanent and speedy
cure can be effected, and with the abandonment of ruin
ous practices my patients can be mitered to robust, vig
orous health.
The alUieled are cautioned against the life of Patent
Medicines, for there are so many ingenious snares in the
columns of the public prints to catch and rob the unwary
sufferers, that'nfUllons have their constitutions ruined
by the vile compounds of quack doctors, Or the sunnily
poisonous nostrums vended as 'Totem% Medicines." I
have carefully analyzed many of the so-collect Patent
MetliCillCS. and Bad that nearly all of them contain Cor

curing the disease, disables the system fur life.

Dr. Morsels I trod ia ta itoot
D
MORSE. the Inventor of Moesgs INDLINROOT Prate
has spent the greater part of his life in trateliug,
having visited Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as North
America—has spent three years among the Italians of our
Western country—it was in this viii:-that the Indian Root
Dille were first discovered. Dr. Morse Mlla the first man
to establish the fact that all diseases arise from intiparftY
of the .Blood—that our strength, health and life depended
upon the vital fluid.
When the various patisages become clogged, and do not
act in perfect harmony With the different functions of the
body, the blood loses its action, becomes thick, corrupted
and diseased; dins causing all pains, sickness and dietress
of every name; air strength is exhausted, our health we
are deprived of, and if nature is not assisted in throwing
off the stagnant humors, the blood will become choked
and cease to net, and thus our light of life will forever be
blown out. Dow important then that We should keep the
various passages of the body free and open. And how
pleasant to us that we have it in our power to put a med
mine in your reach, namely, 31orre'ii Indian Root Dille,
manufactured from plants and roots which grow around
the Mountainous cliffs in Nature's garden. for-the health
and recovery of diseased man. One of the roots from
which these Pills are made' Is a Sudorific. which opens
the pores of the skin', and iiisiste nature in throwing out
the liner parts of the corruPtiondtrithin. The 'second is a
"plant which is an Expectomplithat opens and unclogs
the passage to the lungs, au il'ain' s in a soothing manner,
performs its duty by-throdined pliegm, and other hu.
mors front the lunge by copious spitting. The third is a
Diuretic, which gives ease and double strength to the kid
neys; thus encouraged, they. drew-large amounts of int.
purity from the blood, which is then thrown out linutiti
fully by the urinary or water .passage, and which could
not have been discharged in any other way. The fourth
is a Cathartic, and aceimpatties the ether properties of
the Dille while engaged in purifying' : the blood; the coar
ser particles of Impurity which cannot pass by the other
outlets, are thus taken up aturconveyedoff in great quan
tities by the bowels.
' From the above, it is shown that Dr. Morse's Indian
'Root Pills not only enter the stomach, but become uni
tad With the blood, for they find way to every part, and
completely rout out and cleanse the system from all im
ifrities, mid the life of the betivi. which is the blood, be
comes perfectly healthy; consequently all sickness and
pain is driven from the system; for they cannot remain
when the betty becomes so pure and clear.
The reason why peopleare so distressed when sick, and
why so many die, is bemuse they do not get a medicine
whicit will OA to the afflicted Parts, and whieh will open
the natural passages for the disease to be cast out; hence,
a large quantity of food and other matter is lodged, and
the stomach and intestines 'are literally overflowing with
the corrupting mass; thus undergoing disagreeable fer
mentation, constantly mixing with blood, which'
throu's the corrupted matter through every vein and arte
ry, until life is taken from: the body by disease. Dr.
Morse's PILLS have added to themselves victory upon
victory, by restoring millions of the sick to blooming
health and happiness. Yes, thousands who have been
auish,
racked Or tormented with sickness, pain andng
and whose feeble f mines havw been scorched by the burn
ing elements of raging fever, and who have been brought
as it were, within a step of silent grave, now stand
ready tentestify that they wbold bare been numbered
with the dead, had it not beetrYor this great and wonder
ful medicine; Morse's Indian Root Pills. After one or two
doses had been taken, they Were absolutely astonished,
in witnessing their elearming : effects. Not only do they
give immediate ease and strength, and take away all sick
ness, pain and anguis h lintlthey at once oto at
the ImM:dation of the diseade; which is the blood. w There
fore, it will be shown, espeCially by those who use these
Pills, that they will so cicadae 'and purify, that disease—
that deadly enemy—will take:its flight, and the flush of
youth and beauty willagain return, and the prospect of
a long and happy life will Cherish andbrighten your days.

causes a free and easy expectoration, heals the lungs,
purifies the blood, imparts renewed vitality to the nor
yeas system, giving that tone and energy so indispensa
ble for the restoration of health. To be able to state
confidently that Consumption is curable by Inhalation,
is to me a sources of unalloyed pleasure. It is as much
under the control of medical treatment as any other
formidable disease ; ninety out of every hundred cases
can be cured in the first stages, and fifty per centiu the
second; but in the third stage it is impossible to save
more thou five per cent, for the lunge are so cut up by
the disease as to defy medical skill. Even, however, in
the last stages,inbalation affords extraordinary relief to
the suffering, attending this fearful scourge, which an
nudity destroys ninety-five thousand persons in the U
nited States alone ;
and a correct calculation shows that
.of the present population of the earth, eighty millions
are destined to till the Consemptis es grave.
Truly, the quiver of death has ho meow so fatal as
Conan inption. In all ages it has been the.great enemy
of life, for it spares neither age nor FtX, but sweeps of
alike the brave. the beautiful, the graceful. and the gift
ed. Dy the help of that Supreme Being, from whom
eometh every g ood and perfect gilt, I am enabled to nffer
to the afilicteda, permanent and speedy curer in Con
sumption. The first came of tubercles is from Imp ore
Blood, and the immediate effect, produced by their depo
sition in the lungs, is to prevent the free admission of
air into the air cells, which causes a weakened vitality
through the entire system. Then, surely, it is more ra
tional to expect greater good from medicines entering
the cavities.of the lungs, thou from those administered
through the stomach ; the patient will always find the
lungs free and the breathing easy, after inhaling reme
dies. True, inhalation is a local remedy, nevertheless,
it arts constitutionally, and with more power and cer
tainty than 'remedies administered by the stomach. To
prove the powerful and direct influence of this mode of
administration, chloroform inhaled will destroy sensibil
ity in a few minutes, paralyzing the entire nervous aye
tern, so that a limb may be amputated without the slight
est pain; inhaling the ordinary burning gas will destroy
life in a few hours.
The inhalation of antmenia will rouse the system when
fainting or apparently deed. The odor of many of the
medicines Is perceptible in the skin, a few moments af-
ter being inhaled, and may be immediately detected in
the blood. A . convincing proof of the constitutionaref
fects of inhalation, is the fact that sick yeas is always pro
duced by breathing foul air. Is not this positive evi
dence that proper remedies, carefully prepared and Judi.
ciously administered through the lungs, should produce
the most happy results ? During eighteen yeare pree.
tice, many thousands, suffering from diseases of the
lungs and throat, have been under my care, and I have
effected many remarkable cures, even after the sufferers
had been pronounced in the last stages, which fully sat-
Wires me that Consumption is nq longer fatal disease:;—
My treatment of Cous,umption is original, and founded
on long expezience and a thorough investigation. My
perfect acquaintance with the nature of tubercles, dm,
enables me to distinguish, toedily, the . various forms of
disease that simulate coutunaption, anti apply the proper
remedies, rarely being Mistaken even in a single ease.—
This familiarity, in connection with certain pathological
and microscopic discoveries, enables me to relieve
the lungs from the effects of contracted chests; to en
large the chest, purify the blood, impart toitrenewed vi
tality, giving energy and tone to theeutire system.
Medicines, with full directimis, sent to any part of the
United States and Canadua, by patients communicating
their symptoms by letter. nut.the cure would be more
certain if the patient .should pay me a visit, which
would give me an opportunity to examine the lungs and
enable MC to prescribe with much greater certainty ;
and then the cure could be effected without my seeing
the patient again.

BILL WILSON & THE GHOST
'Bout two years ago, the people in Pineville was
almost lartned,out of their senses by a ghost what
made its appearance every night in the grave
yard. The niggers seed it fust, and wimmin and
children was 'fraid to go to bed in the dark fur a
month, and you couldn't git a nigger to go out
side the deer after dark not for all Georgy. It
made a monstorus talk for more'n ten miles round
the settlement, and everybody was anxious to find
out whose ghost it was, and what it wanted.—
Old Mr. Walker, what had been cheated out of all
his 'property by the,Aawyers, hadn't been dod a
great while, and as was a monstrous curious
old chap a: - y. how, the general opinion was that
the old An had cum back fur something.
Sammy .Stoatetreet seed it, and Bob Moreland
seed it, and old Mrs. Curloo seed it when she was
mimic to town to her daughter Nancy, the night
she had the baby, and they all gave the same ac
count, the niggers did, bout its being dressed in
white and talking to itself, and eryin and welkin
about among the Loom stones. Bob Moreland sad
he heard it sneeze two or three times, jest as nat
ural as any human, and cry ever so pittiful.
A good many of the boys sad they was gwine
to watch for it sum night and speak to it, but sum
how ther hearts always failed 'em 'bout dark and
nobody didn't go.
One day Bill Wilson cum to town, and was but
half corned down to Mr, ljarley's More, when they
got to ban teria him bout the ghost.
"Diug'd if I don't see who it is," sea Bill ;
aiiit afraid of,np ghost that ever walked o' nights.
. With that seine of em offered to bet hire fire
dollars that he desent go inside of the graveyard
alone after dark.
"Dun," ties Bill, "plank up yer money. But
.P . m to go ; jest as I've a mind to !"
"Yes," says the boys.
"And shout the ghost if I see it ?" see he—"To
be sure."
"And I'm to hare a bottle of old Jimmaky to
keep me company?"'
"Yes," ses all of 'em,
"Agreed," _says "Put : up the. stakes in
Mr. Harley's hand."
The money was staked and the bisnesss all fixed
in no time.
ses Bill, "giro me a par of pistolg, and
let me load 'em myself, and I'll show you whether
I'am afraid of ghosts." - .
Captain Skinner's big horse pistols was sent for,
and Bill loaded on of 'Om up to the muzzle, and
after gitting a bottle of Helier in his pocket, and
takin' two or three more hopo to raise his your.
age, he waited till it was dash. Everybody in
town was wide awake too see how the :Magri:void
turn out, and some of the winunin was monstrous
sousarned for Bill, for fear he'd git tarried off by
the ghost sham +snuff.
Je...t about clerk Bill set out for the graveyard,
with a whole heap of fellers, who went to see him
to the gate.
.'Look out uow, niti—you know ghosts is mu
strus dangerous things ) ", and the boys, as they
was bout leaving him.. •-
"Nevor you mind," see" Bill. "Bat remember,
I'm to shoot "
"Yes," ses all of 'em,
If 11 marched into the middle of the gra.voyard
singin "Shiny Night" as loud as he could, but
monstrous. out of tuno, and tuck a seat. on one of
the gravestones.
The graveyard in Pineville stands on the aide
of a hill bout a quarter of a mile from town. The
fence is a. Monstiottsligh post and_rail fence, and
the lot is .a tolerable big one, extondin a good
ways down in the holler on tother elite, whar
there is a Rine thicket of bout an acre whar that
aint no grztivbi. • • •
Lilo night was pretty dark, and Bill thought it
was very cold ;en be ken - Whin diinks every now
and then to keep himself warm, and singiu all
the songs and sam tunes he know'd to keep awake,
Sometimes ho thought he heard something, and
then his hair would &wt.'? trawl up, and he would
grab hold of his pistols, Nthat, ho.held, cocked in
his lap, but it was so dark - he couldn't see nothin
ten steps off. Two or three times ho felt like`
hackie out, but he know'd that wouldn't never
do so he'd take another drink and strike up an.
other tune. Birneby be got so sloop'' , that ho
couldn't tell whether he Was singing , Luoy.Neal"
or" The Promised land" and bimeby ho only sung
a word hear and Char, *mutt:min very partiokular
what song it belonged to.
Hewes so bominable steeply. and Corned togeth
er, thathe couldn't keep awake, and, in spite of
his fears he began to nod a little. • Ise
Just then. aemething sneezed.
"Ugh r . ses "what's that?"
Bat b e i t oon :cunt to th, cOnolusiciii, ! ,that...ha must
haveheei pieezfiig;'in a'l4p, aikt'after-'B64in
that his pistol was safe and taken another drink,
he was soon in the land of Nod egin.
Bout this time old Mr. Jenkins' gang of gotes
cum out of the thicket whar they had cum thro the
gap in the fence, and with old white Belshazor
in the lead, 'cum smelfia bout whar Bill was
watchin for the ghost.
Old Belshazer is one of the oudecionsest old
rascals to but in all -Georgy, and,sceing Bill soda
thar all alone by himself, he goes up and smells at
him. Bill nodded to him in his sloep. Old Bel
shazar stepped back a little ways, and Bill nod
ded agajn. IVO old feller tuck it for a banter
Ault nand', hnd back he Went a few steps, and
raised up on his hind legs a little he took delib
erate aim, and sprang, he tuck Bid right between
the eyes, necking him and his pistol both off at
the same time.
Bang goes the pistol, roarin orit on the still
night air like a young five-pounder,-so evrybody
heard it, and the next min it you might have Imam
Bill holler mutle,r! murder'. Lord pres,erve me?
for more than n. - • :,- •
'The whole town Was out of bed in a. miniVand
evrybody that could go was out to the graveyard
as quick as they could git titer.
Thar was Bill Wilson, layin' sprawled out on
the gr,und,with his eyes bunged up so he could'nt
tell daylight from. tiark.
The getes were scared as bad'is he was at the
pistol, and was gone 'fore ho fairly touched the
ground; and Bob Moreland and Tom Staines
what had ione out thar to seara.:pill, and bad seed
his encounter with, old Belshazer, was titantliW
by him rapped up in their white sheets, laughin'
like they wonld bust their sides.
Bill swore that ho was wide awake, and that
when - the ghost cum 'nn to him, ho tuck a fair
crack at it, when all at once he was struck him a
clap of thunder and lightnin'.
Bob Moreland tried to explain it to him; but it
was all no use. He swore the ghost was six foot
high, and - that he seed the lightnin'kst as plain
as he ever seed lightin' iu his life.
Bill claimed the stakes, and every betty sed he
ought to have the money. Bat .you may depend
be wouldn' have sich another givowt night for all
the money in Georgy. The fence was mended
whar it was broke in the thicket, and thar was
never any more ghosts seed in that graveyard
sense.
EFFECT- OF THE PANIC ON
MARRIAGES
Ono or two of our eotemporaries, alarmed at
.the brief list of marriages advertised in their col
umns, cry out that the panic has quenched • the
marrying ardor. Postponed it, it has, but we be
lieve that the institution of marriage is a great
gainer
,by the hard times: flood, sharp, careful
wives were never in such demand before. Tidy,
saving housekeepers were never so appreeiated be
fore. Solacing, tender companions never so sigh
ed after. The consciences of men and their tastes
have always been right about marrying, but the
terribly expensive outfit of a woman in society,
and the ridiculously absurd notions of many men
have doubtless detained whole flocks of angelic
Paris outside the gate; and made wretched bache
lors of hundreds of men who deserved a better
fate. lint.the hard times have clipped the wings
of many who were soaring far too high for
,their
availability and_hrought within• bounds many
whom their worshippers despaired of circumvent.
ing. The marriageable damsels, shortening sail
from necessity, make a .much more presentable
appearance in the off.ng, and the pilots cone
along-side with a better grace and spirit. Some
who meant to marry dreaded to undertake, lest
the cost of the wedding swamp them.
Now "fashionable" weddings aro out of fash
ion ; loving couples will go up to church ration
ally, and the set out at home will be tasteful,
plain and brief. The absurd custom of shower
ing upon the bride untold lots of dry goads, jew
elry and the like, wat t le:, held vulgar, and a hint
that she is in rola of alms. We predict the panic
will not result in the failure of a single sensible
couple to meet their engagements. There;:may
be and are , suspensions, and extensions of little
notos,•but the firm will go on—the marriage will
come off in the spring, if not in the winter, and by
that time all parties will be likely to start with
more temperate notions of the 'appearances' they
are to keep up, and a truer American idea of what
a domestic establishment should be. A new and
most welcome era has been inaugurated with the
hard time. We shall hear less from young men
about their inability. "to support a wife," and
women who gannet help support the family, rather
than be reckoned part of its dead-weight, will

THE VESTAL -VIRGINS
The origin of the vestals dated from the founda
tion of ItOme. Themother of Romulus was sup
posed to have been one. Their number was six,
and they were to be without blemish and deform
ity. They were chosen very young from the age
of six to ton. If a sufficient number of.cendidates
did not present themselves, lots ware cast among
twenty select virgins, and those on whom
the lot fell were compelled to take on themselves
the office of priestess.' For thirty years they re
trained virgins, ten of these years were spent in
learning their duties.; the next ten in performing
them, and the last in instructing those who had
entered the noviciate. At the expiration of this
period . their vows of celibacy were no longer
binding, and they were permitted to retire from
their office. The employment of the vestals was
to wale& the fire.of Vesta., and prevent its being
extinguished, which if it should happen, was re
garded as a great calamity; and the &re was again
kindled by the rays of.the sun through a burning-
glass. The vestals also had charge of the-pallad
ium, a statue of Minerva, supposed to have fallen
from heaven. The dress of the vestals was a
white vest; with purple borders, a white surplice,
and ev..er all, a great purple Mantle flowing to.the
ground. They wore a close coverhig on their
heads, called insa/a)fronwhich hung ribbons.--
If any of the'vestal virgins proved incontinent,
they were sealed up in a cave under ground, in
which was a bed; a.lamp, and a little bread and
wine, where they were left:to perish; but during
the space of a thousand years this punishment
was inflicted only eighteen times., .The. vestals
possessed many privileges. The most honorable
seats at publiozames ap.d, featiirals were a Rotted

A curious lawsuit is going on kik now

the small pox, has had two actions brought against
him, one by his barber, and the other by his up

AB ASHLEY'S FEAT IN MEL
ON STEALING.
Ab Ashley, was a real live Hoosier, notorious
for every thing:in genera), and stealing melons
in particular. In melon time he was the dread
I of the whole neighborhood, for when be visited a
patch, he made it a rule never to leave until it
Was entirely destroyed. This was a singular trait
in his eisnracter--something unaccountable-4 , z
aside from that, he was considered one of the best
fellows in the world.- Stealing melons, and plun
dering patches, 'seemed to be part of his nature,
for it MO evident that it did not arise from any
niggerly disposition or selfish motives. He was
a real open hearted kind of an individual, always
growing more melons than anybody else, and
giving them away more freely than anybody else .
They wore no object to him; and yet ho could
not resist the temptation to steal from his neigh
hors, just for the fin ,`of the But as some
one said; "It i# a:long lion that has no turn
and likewise .141.4 allowed the practice•of steal
ingc;gota
melon thief of long standing. Dutsueh a state of
things Was not*Etined to last always—"A change
come over the spirit of his dream." I recollect
once, in melon season, some youngsters called at
Ab's house, and after telling him of the fine patch
that Deacon Aikers had, proposed to visit it. Ab
was on hand without a moment's hesitancy, and
so the company set out as soon as it was fairly
dark. Pefcre proceeding further, I may say of
Al,, in the language of the poet. "Ile loved whis
key," as -well as he did melons, and the boys in
whose company he MIA, had looked to the future
and brought along a bountiful supply of the "good
critter," ho was soon enjoying himself 'hugely.—
Round rt , d round went the company. They soon
got to be very merry—so mach so that aFparent
ly they paid no attention to road or path, but
went right ; through the woods and brush, the same
of if they had been , walking on a barn floor. At
length, after winding aheiit in varlons ways, and
overcoming many obstacles, such as fallen trees
and worm fences, that - lay in their route, they ar
rived nt the patch and pitched over the enclosure.
Ye gods wis..,t a sight!'There ley' the huge mel
ons, so thick that cur adventurers 'could sca . ,:coly
walk for them. There lay great mealy "red cores"
apparently calling out in their own language
"Arise, slash and cat i" They were none of your
little long,Wwitted up" things such as find their
way to the market stands, and which one would
suppose- had fallen from the vine in a fit or the
"blue devils;" bet they were groat, plaimp,
good natured fellow's many of which Were already
showing their read interior, having apparently,
burst their sides with laughter. Ab Was right in
his glory, and so, hauling out his' jack-knife he
fell to slashitsig: , arennd with a vengeance-, The
other followed his eiample, and very soon there
was sad havoc in the melon-patelt.
Having satisfied his appetite', Ab fell to stamp
ing and crushing all that came in his way.
The other boys hesitated to participate at first,
urging that,it was really too bad to treat the old
deacon in such a manner ; but Ab swore that it
was really good enough for the old hypocrite', and
he would not leave as long as there was a whole
melon. Finding there, was, no stopping
him, they lent a handto the performance, and
very 'soon every.raelon'weddestroyedLa not only
that, but eho vines were'pu lied up and heaped in
one corner of the patch.
"Now," said Ab, mounting- the pile, which was
some live or six feet high, "give me the black bot.
tie, and let me drjuk:the old Deacon's health—
that good man in honor of whom we have Just e.
rccted this monument."
The bottle was passed up and Ab began.
"Deacon Aikere—may he live to plant many a ,
patch like this, and Ab Ashley and his friends
have the honor of hervestin' it fur 'em.'
Hats went round three times, after which the
bottle started, and made a like number of revolu
tions.
"Now fetch me that pole yonder, tilt I erect a
standard, to show that man has- been to the
summit, and the work will be completed, " said
Ab.
The pole was brought, and after tearing a strip
off an old cotton hanAkeroltief, and attaching it
to the end of the pole, Ab stuck it up in the pile
of vines, dismounted, end all started fur home.—
In a space of time truly incredible. they
, arrired
at Ab's residence. Ab pressed his friends to stay
till morning, but they would not hear it. Some
pressing business ,of course proven ted, and so they
set out, leaving him to FllOOZe off the effects of bad
wiskey.
Early next morning, Ab Ashley was aroused
from his sound slumber by one of his littlasons
running to his bed and calling out. "Papa papa
papa.!, . Get up, quick—quicker ! Some t'n'
all hooka er-Jer , water tuelone."
“What !" exclauted Ab.
" Wby—some—some—semo'n lucked all 'er Wa
ter melons, an'---zz' mashed em up!"
4th arose cursing and swearing, ecoviug that
he'd find some oluo by which to indentify the vil
liane, and then they might look out for rough
Gatos. Ab wont to the patch—what a sigh t pre
sented itself , . not a whole melon, nor even a vine,
was left—all w et a total destruction.
"Whero'n thwider and lightnin' etmld I have
been last night, that I didn't hoes the infernal Till.
lalns ? Its lucky for 1113 I didn't. here 'em or
some of ent'd ,been dead now. What could they
have done with the :done !" said be.
Casting hit eyes along the fenee, he discovered
the vines up like a small hay stack.
Mtn the top stood it:pole, with a strip of red
floating at the end 'of it. Ab started towards it,
but before he had proceeded many steps lie stopped
to think. Something seemed to be coming up in
his mind. At last he muttered, "can't it all be a
dream or actually did Ido it ?" Waiting a little
longer he said, "No, by. thunder, its no dream!--'
Them cussed boys has been playin off on me. Blast
their infernal whiakey, I wish they had it all in
their cussed inwards red hot ! Wrtd,l tell you, l'st
be even with 'em if it takes mo a hundred years from
now," and then came en awful volley of curs es
such as could never appear in print. He fairly
blubbered rigbt.out with, rage.
It was, indeed, true—they had been playing
off on him—for after getting him a-little 'tight,
they bad brotight bins back to his own melon
patch ; and under the impression that it was dea,
eon Aiksr's he had destroyed it. It, is said that
Ab Ashley was never known to assist in the plun
der of a melon patch after that eventful eight.
We would urgently impress the minds of young

—some Purpose in view; and that this aim, this
purpose of life, should always have the hearty

The New Yikk•eorrespondont of the Philadel

fairs in that quarter :
-A r elrse'ena - Catiti 3 Off- the other tiny in the',llfa

ing here for some weeks past, at the Florence He
tel, where Lis bills are paid by his freinds in the
gambling and sporting lines. On Thursday Beau
was subpeenaed as a witness in tho above court.
The attorney on the opposite side was a regular
tartar. He prides himself upon bis skill in-ix
amining witnesses, and claims that he can con
fuse a witness mere successfully than any other
member of the bar. One of his methods of doing
this is, when the witness hesitates, to snap at him
like an angry terrier, 'worry and abuse , hins for
his hesitation, and them seek to confound and
embarrass him.
Hem ibis man Beau was brought up for cross.
examination. Beau took the stand and, after giv
ing his testimony. in a - very mild manner, was
handed over for cross questioniog to this keen set
lawyer. He had in his dir'ect testimony, affirmed
that the sharp lawyer's client had "no money
whatever.", The councillor, with a look at Beau
such as a hungry dog gives at a bone, asked
"How do you know, Mr. Hickman, that my el
wit had no money ?—Are you the keeper of his
pocket booker,
"lie told we so, sir."
"When did he tell y0...1 so ?"
'This 100p:4.g..."
Where, sir 7-
"In this very room." -
"What did he say, sir ? Come, give us his very
words—none of your inference, sir."
*'l don't like to answer that question."
"Ho, ho ! So you're afraid to answer that quer..
tion, are you ? I knew.l should drive ,. you intro
a close earner: Coma, out with it, and none of
your shirking here." •
"I should rather be excused."
"I shall appeal to the court to ‘ coramit you for
• •
contempt."
"Well, air, If I ritual &newer, he told me this
morning that he had no money."
"Well, eir, what, language did he itee?"
"Why, I asked him to loan me half a dollar and
be told me he couldn't, for ydu had robbed him
of every cent of his money, and if be didn't get
out of your clutches Very soon, his children would
starve,"
The lawyer had no-further questions to ask--
A. roar cf laughter arose in the court which requir
ed some trouble to check, and by the time the
rawyer had collected his thoughts again, the cue
was decided against him.
HAPPY MISTAKE.
A thief, in Paris, in his moonlight rambles, de
termined upon making a very elegant mansion in
the Bus desVictories the scene ofhis depredation*.
He had gained the balcony of 'the first floor, and.
opening the" iw.irao* - Wa3 -cautiously e..tered the
room, when be was suddenly arrested in his pro
gress by a gentleman, who, rushing from behind
a curtain, presented a pistol at his head. "Your
life," he exeleinied, "is at my mercy, but I will
!eke amore noble revenge for my Injured honor.
I will permit, You to leave this house without fur

pect you will meet me, as a man of honor, to-mor
row morning in the Bois de Bologna. The as

compliance and made a safe retreat.-

The destination of the celebrated Armada of
Philip of Spain, was not known in England until
late in the season, at which time the country was
wholly unprepared to resist, with any hope of
success, so formidable a military.aud metal 11.111.111,

and.tirror, a merchant in London communicated
to the Government that he probably had it in his
power to proven-. the invasion for at tenet that year.

depended .upon the Bank of Venice for money to
proviziori his fleet; that he had an extensive credit
at the Bank, sufficient to draw from it allits

might succeed in effecting the object -before the
application was made by thoEing of Spain. The
scheme was entirely rurcessful. The merchant
exhausted the bank, and Philip was compelled to
delay the sailing of the expedition till the follow

moot it, and happily avert the blow that was in
